Good info for someone just getting into the details. Thanks Raf.

I disagree with most his discussion on wheel balance versus death wobble, and the necessity to have wheels dynamically balanced. A good front end will operate death wobble free regardless of minor balancing differences.

Thats important for us here because of the amount of snow, mud, and torn off wheel weights we are subjected to during wheeling in our terrain. If our front ends were susceptable to death wobble via tire balance, we would be in a lot of trouble here.

But all in all a good beginners article.
